BEST BET - #1 - Let’s Try (BEST BET)
Let’s Try gets nailed at the weights here but so do a lot of the others and I think he’s easily the best horse in this race and will only be improved coming to this course after returning over the 1200m at Newcastle where he did lots of nice work early before finding plenty from out front in the straight to win very well. I think he is more than up to this level of competition and will prove strong here.
THE DANGER - #7 - Cigar Flick
Cigar Flick deserves another chance here for Chris Waller after running behind the gates where she lost a plate, replated and then was all over the place mentally when finishing far back in the field in the PJ Bell. She comes back in depth, has been given a break and is one of the smartest horses here.
VALUE BET - #11 - Keep Your Cool
Keep Your Cool is one I can entertain at longer odds here for Ciaron Maher having won two of his five career starts and placed runner up in a further two. His two wins have come in his past two runs since coming back from a break with the most recent being a fortnight ago at Gosford where he got a split very late in the piece and jetted away. Third up, more improvement to come and undefeated thus far this time in. Go well here.
